Fair warning Rod , I'm chasing down your #10 spot in team points, should take about 3 or 4 months at current production rates.
I hope your feeling better. Any news on your new mac?

Hi fosking,
Welcome back, the more the merrier, the team is going through a welcome growth spurt. We're even holding our own in the team rankings thanks to everyone's collective contributions.
Check out Dave's (dcrobinsons) stats page if you didn't see it before http://wcg.36arn.co.uk/wcg/

Welcome back fosking.

Less than 3 weeks to go until the team hits 6 billion points. Wow!

For the first time in 3 years, I've dropped off all three weekly leaderboards on my stats site. I'm only running a pitiful two cores most of the time, and I can't even sneakily use my machine at work overnight (boss doesn't approve) because it's been flat out processing approximately 150,000 files for about 3 weeks now .

Dave, if you wanted to add some extra credit to your account, you could always sign up for the free trial accounts at Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Amazon EC2/AWS, and just run BOINC on them.

We did that a few years ago when we were first starting and ran Asteroids; the processing lasted around 3 months, and gained us over 1 million credits.

If anyone is interested here is a quick guide (post) on how to setup Google cloud in this case with einstein, however the other projects are the same. Also to setup the other cloud providers you basically use the same Unix (linux) commands.
